CrunchGear, For the Gadget Obsessive

Michael Arrington of TechCrunch has added another site to his expanding blog empire, "CrunchGear, for the gadget obsessive." It will compete with Engadget, Gizmodo and a few hundred more.

Arrington's launch post says "The editor is John Biggs, who was previously the editor of Gizmodo," and the team includes "Blake Robinson who writes the popular music blog audiomonger".

CrunchGear is going to be different from the other gadget blogs out there. The team is committed to writing about breaking news but will also be featuring weekly product comparisons in a given category. Expect CrunchGear to look like something between a pure blog and CNET Reviews. Our goal isn't just to let you know about the hot new stuff coming out soon, but to also help you decide what kind of camera, laptop or MP3 player you want to buy as well.
